Now Is the Accepted Time: Lenten Sermons of St Theophan the Recluse

St Theophan the Recluse, a great teacher of the Russian Orthodox Church, was steeped in the patristic tradition. He calls all to salvation through the joy of repentance, confession, and holy communion through his concise, clear, and profound writing. These sermons are organized thematically to reveal the meaning of the liturgical life of the Church and its application to our lives. They begin with the preparatory period before the Fast and continue through it, culminating in the time of Holy Week. Thus, this book will inspire the reader to enter into the Lenten season with renewed hope.
